Laparoscopic tumor removal for benign pancreatic tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgical technique to remove benign or low-risk pancreatic tumors from the head or neck of the pancreas while temporarily blocking blood flow to reduce bleeding. It may help patients avoid more extensive surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a benign or low-grade pancreatic tumor (such as a neuroendocrine tumor, solid pseudopapillary tumor, or cystadenoma)
- The tumor is located in the head, neck, or uncinate process of the pancreas
- The tumor has not spread to nearby blood vessels or other parts of the body
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic surgery where blood flow to the abdominal trunk and superior mesenteric artery will be temporarily blocked

This trial compares two ways of doing surgery in people with early, left-sided pancreatic cancer that can be removed. It may help find the approach with better outcomes while aiming to keep the operation safe and effective.
This study tests a new surgical technique for removing non-cancerous or low-grade tumors from the pancreas using small incisions (laparoscopy). The technique may help preserve more of the pancreas and improve recovery.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery called laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy to remove certain cancers in the pancreas, bile duct, or nearby areas. It may help patients whose cancer has not spread and can be fully removed with surgery.
This trial compares a modified surgical technique to the standard one for removing pancreatic tumors. It aims to see if the new method lowers the risk of a leak from the pancreas after surgery.
This trial compares two laparoscopic techniques to remove tumors from the pancreas while keeping the spleen. The goal is to see which method is safer and better for people with non-cancerous or low-grade tumors.
This trial studies whether removing extra lymph nodes during surgery for pancreatic cancer can help find if the cancer has spread. It is for patients whose tumor is considered removable or borderline removable.
